Ferrer is through after a gruelling 3 set match today against Baggy, if those two do meet, i'd favour Andy, Ferrer looked pretty poor

indiana · Tennis legend

Andy's 3rd round match vs Hanescu is 4th on Arantxa Sanchez Vicario court.

2nd match ( Peer vs Parra Santonja ), due not before 1 pm BST has just started at 2.25 pm BST. 3rd match is Monfils vs Garcia-Lopez. So be sometime this evening.

Apparently has a 1 - 0 record v Hanescu ( for some reason I thought that they had played more ), a 6 - 3 6 - 2 win last year on Monte Carlo's clay.

Anyway, a match that I'd expect the renewed Andy to be winning.

Andy slowly recapturing his best form. I have a feeling he will have a pretty decent French open draw permitting.

Calm down, you'll do yourself a mischief. wink

Andy breaks to 15, * 5 - 1, so that's not going to help calm Mad smile

This is very good. Hanescu's hardly a clay gourt mug.

6-2 6-1

Who wants to be calm? I'm spending most of my days hospital visiting, I need some excitement at night.

Andy seems to have his mojo back!

I missed the first 2 games of the match - Victor played poorly I thought - was impressed that Andy retained his focus - and nice to see him serving decently, returning well and hitting some more of those flatter forehands.

Wouldn't want you to end up in a hossy bed too, Mad. Good win for Andy tonight. He looked much better, more comfortable, and dare I say aggressive. Pleased for him

Hanescu won two games less there than he did in the last 16 in Rome vs some Nadal chappee smile

Ferrer beat Cilic 6 - 3 6 - 2 so it's an Andy v Ferrer QF, a chance of revenge for the Rome L16 match. Tough though, since clearly Ferrer is in very good clay court form going onto the final in Rome after Monte Carlo and Barcelona semis.

On OoP, match is scheduled on the main Manolo Santana court to follow the Federer vs Gulbis match ( another very interesting rematch after Rome ) which is scheduled for not before 7pm BST though both these night matches have quote "Possible Time Change".

Andy was looking positively at the possiblity of a rematch against Ferrer in his post match chat on Sky so I am hopeful of revenge.

looking foward to this match, fancy andy to win, he will be pumped considering the crowd will be against him, and he lost to ferrer last week.
